    Perhaps if you were to give us an example of what you're trying to do, then we might be able to understand you and help you.

      hi dave ; this is an example of a command that im trying to run: system ("SQL < calfile.txt ") the os ignores this line. one of the component in my product use this syntax: -autoedit %%B "%%CALCDATE %%ODATE +60" that means that B will get a value, but again the os skips the line with %%

    Could you please post in full some commands you are trying to execute? Perl should be Perl whatever the platform, but your shell might want you to escape the (%) characters with a backslash (\%). Why do you need to use double percent?

    Are you sure it's Data Center?? IIRC that's the custom built version for refrigerator sized winboxes :)

    Gil HA Tembel, I checked your problem on Data Center manchine , and there is a problem with using % sing in system command. I installed the latest version of ActiveState Perl 626. and now the problem is solved. here is the link to site which I downloaded the installation file. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/index/ you should download the : ActivePerl 5.6.1.626 -> Windows -> MSI attachment. Now everyone knows that you a big Perl Tembel.
